The 300 MHz and 600 MHz options are not compatible with the 5502E. The 5502E does not have SCOPE and TRIG OUT terminals. The SCOPE and TRIG OUT buttons are on the front panel of the 5502E, but they are non-functional and beep when pushed.

5502E Getting Started Remote Operation (RS-232) There are two rear-panel serial data RS-232 ports: SERIAL 1 FROM HOST, and SERIAL 2 TO UUT (see Figure 2). Each port is dedicated to serial-data communications to operate and control the Product during calibration procedures. For complete information on remote operation, see Chapter 5 of the Operators Manual.
Calibration Service Center (see “Contact Fluke Calibration”). A performance test is in the “Maintenance” section of Chapter 7 in the Operators Manual. If you ship the calibrator to Fluke Calibration, use the initial container. If it is not available, you can get a new container from Fluke Calibration with the Calibrator model and serial number.
If it is necessary to use a different type, refer to Table 3 and Figure 4 for a list and illustration of the line-power plug types available from Fluke Calibration. After you make sure that the line voltage selection is set correctly and that the correct fuse for that line voltage is installed, connect the calibrator to a correctly-grounded three-prong outlet.

• 5502E Getting Started (PN 4238530) One of each manual above comes with the instrument. Refer to the Fluke Calibration Catalog or speak to a Fluke Calibration sales representative (see “Contact Fluke Calibration”) if more printed copies are necessary. The manuals are also available on the Fluke Calibration website.
The following tables list the 5502E specifications. All specifications are valid after allowing a warm-up period of 30 minutes, or twice the time the 5502E has been turned off. (For example, if the 5502E has been turned off for 5 minutes, the warm-up period is 10 minutes.) All specifications apply for the temperature and time period indicated.
Weight (without options) ........22 kg (49 lb) Absolute Uncertainty Definition ......The 5502E specifications include stability, temperature coefficient, linearity, line and load regulation, and the traceability of the external standards used for calibration. You do not need to add anything to determine the total specification of the 5502E for the temperature range indicated.
Formula 60-T-I minutes any 60 minute period where T is the temperature in °C (room temperature is about 23 °C) and I is the output current in amperes. For example, 17 A, at 23 °C could be provided for 60-23-17 = 20 minutes each hour. When the 5502E is outputting currents between 5 and 11 amps for long periods, the internal self-heating reduces the duty cycle.

The subsequent paragraphs provide additional specifications for the 5502E Calibrator ac voltage and ac current functions. These specifications are valid after allowing a warm-up period of 30 minutes, or twice the time the 5502E has been turned off. All extended range specifications are based on performing the internal zero-cal function at weekly intervals, or when the ambient temperature changes by more than 5 °C.

The limits were calculated by adding or subtracting the 90-day specification from the output value. There is no built-in factor for measurement uncertainty.
